    My "new to me" 83 Venture

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    Only a TCI from an '83 will work on yours, I'm sad to say, so make sure it is for that year. They come up on ebay often enough. Wish I could help you out but I've got my own TCI problems. There is also another area that can give the same conditions, the conector for the pickup coils that come from the stator cover up to the TCI. There is a connector along the frame near the gas tank and voltage regulator that can get corroded and cause problems...

    Help!! Need An Ignition Module!!!

    Goldie is running, or rather ran for a few minutes, then the ignition module bit the big one!! Now I have 2 dead units and one that runs on 2 cylanders...

     

    I am in dire need of a module ASAP! Don't want to miss MD because of it. Anybody got a spare to part with??

     

    I'm going to check the schematic to see if there is any reason that I should be blowing them. The only thing changed was the pickup coils but I can't see what they would do to cause the unit to self destruct. It did run fine while it ran...

    Question re anti dives for 1983 venture

    in General Tech Talk

    Posted

    My set of MK1 Anti Dives just got shipped out this week! However, I did notice something when I had them off, the mounting is identical to the MK2 electric anti dive solenoids!! You can switch over to electrics and eliminate the load on the brake system which should improve the brakes on the ffront, something that is sorely needed on the MK1's...

    What I would check first is the connection for the wires on the temperature sensor on the right side near the frame on the front edge of the motor. There are 2 wires that may be disconnected. Just follow that big black hose running just below the frame on top of the carbs towards the front and you should find them...

    Pulled my Air Box (again) to remove the defective ignition Module and relocater it, and decided to see how well my sliders were moving. Well, found the right front would only open halfway and seem to hit a stop. Took it apart this evening and found that the entire diaphragm and piston assembly had come apart!! It honestly looks like someone tried to replace a diaphragm and used packing tape to hold the washer for the rubber in place after prying it apart!! Found the tape on the spring! Luckily, I had a brand new diaphragm and puiston assembly I bought off ebay a couple of yearsw ago to have on hand. Also, not a single torx screw to be found on any of the carbs.

     

    Hmmm, wonder if it was the same brain child that wired my chin lights directly to the accessory line before the fuse...
